Worth knowing
Every 10 minutes by day Monday to Saturday (every 15 until early afternoon on Saturday), every 15 to 20 on Sundays after 10:00, every 20 after about 21:00.

First tram 04:49, 05:07 on Sunday.
Buy before you board. The machine at the stop takes cards and cash; the Relay shops in Halls A and B and the TBM app sell the same ticket. Nothing is sold on the tram and there is no tap-to-pay, so a party arriving late at night should have tickets in hand.
Two people share one EUR 3.40 ticket, validated twice, and ten rides cost EUR 15.70 for any group — eight people pay EUR 13.60 with four 2-ride tickets, EUR 1.70 a head.
For Gare Saint-Jean stay on past Hôtel de Ville: 45 to 50 minutes in all. The last tram that goes through to the station leaves the airport at 23:43 Monday to Wednesday, 00:44 Thursday to Saturday and 00:09 Sunday; later ones end at Porte de Bourgogne, on the river side of the old town.
The airport's own page gives the tram until midnight on weekdays and 01:00 on Thursday to Saturday; the operator's timetable runs about an hour later. If your flight lands after 00:30, do not count on it — the terminals close at midnight anyway.
